Spicy Beef with Noodles

I haven't posted a recipe in a while, and since this one turned out pretty good, I thought I'd save it for posterity. More onion and pepper would have been better, but I used what I had.

Ingredients:

4 oz egg noodles
1 pound precut beef strips for stir fry
red onion, sliced
bell pepper, sliced
one can sliced water chestnuts
ground cayenne pepper to taste
(sliced fresh jalepeno pepper would have been a good substitute)
1-2 tbsp olive oil

I marinated the precut beef strips in a mixture of Teriyaki and Worchestershire sauce with minced garlic and ground black pepper for 2 days, stirring occasionally. I like to start the marinade as soon as I bring home the groceries, then I can cook later in the week when it's convenient.

• Boil the noodles as per package instructions, drain, set aside.

• Add the olive oil to a large skillet, and heat to high.

• Dump the beef and marinade into the oiled skillet, stirring constantly for a couple of minutes until well-browned.

• Add the vegetables, turn down heat to medium, stir occasionally for 10 minutes.

• Add the noodles, stir well, turn off the heat, and cover the pot for a few minutes. Stir again before serving.

Makes 4 servings for about 6 dollars.
